[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re hurting your kid if you’re still checking homework or helping with projects by the end of elementary school. [/quote]

This is bullshit. Even in many workplaces, there is a level of review: review for content and typos. My briefs and memos and investigative reports get reviewed by 1-3 people depending on who the audience is.

Checking their homework and flagging issues to reconsider or wrong answers is not a problem. That's life. If your doing their work and giving the answers, that is the problem.[/quote]

and "checking homework" can mean many things.

a) pretty much doing it for the kid to make sure hte product is perfect, don't do that.

b) making sure your exec fctn challenged kid turned the page over.

c) helping your kid who is struggling with math concepts to learn the math...

d) having your kid have a great idea for their science project but not know the math so use you as a statistical consultant and document that in the writeup.

So, blanket statements are what's really bs.[/quote]
